Abstract
A shovel includes a data acquisition device and a storage. The data acquisition device acquires operation information indicating a status of each part of the shovel during operation of the shovel and sound data during operation of the shovel, from a state detecting sensor, and wherein the storage stores the operation information in association with the sound data.
Claims8
